I had the courage to be on a scale today. I weight 8 pounds more than I did before WFH. Any tips? My main issue is wine I think and popcorn as well as sweets, but mainly wine.

Try to cut the snacking. Tracking my food keeps me accountable. I count macros vs calories but it’s so easy to snack when you’re home - and especially if your home office is your dining room/kitchen table. Otherwise if you’re craving a snack maybe swap for some tea or coffee. Or fruit :)

OP, are you eating delivery and take out a lot? I've actually lost 5 lbs WFH BECAUSE I'm not travelling and eating out. Before this, ibwas travelling weekly since 2nd week of Jan. I find that I naturally lose weight when I'm just home and eating home cooked meals.

I'm not a health nut and the meals I cook are fairly normal imo.

Recently moved into Tech Sales. Frustrated with my Salary (32K base/year, negligible bonus potential of a few K). Was making ~3K/week on average in my previous role which was commission only, no base. Feel like I am completely wasting my time and potential. Saw the cut as necessary evil initially in order to move into tech sales and make multi six figure commissions later on with potential to reach 7 figures in total comp. At least my current role is with enterprise accounts which. Thought?
